    You can't wait for this thread to close!

    Does that mean you can't take the truth, dear?

    It's not what you wish to hear?

    Is it the facts that you fear?

    Will you cry in your beer?

    Speaking truth to power, remember that?

    Friedman said the earth is flat

    Smug liberals are blind as a bat

    Last night in snowed in Philly

    Global warming might be silly

    Sorry to rain on your parade

    Is stalin.com a dull charade?

    Are there skunks at your garden party, dear?

    It's not the truth that you should fear.

    Please do not say a word

    In your punchbowl I spot a turd.
